An Original Vintage Linenbacked Circus Poster (measures 27 3/4" x 41 1/4" [70 x 105 cm]) (Learn More) Ringling Bros & Barnum & Bailey Combined Circus, the 1937 circus poster ("The marvelous Naitto Troupe in astounding new feats never before seen on this continent") featuring art of a family of Chinese tightrope performers. The Naitto Troupe was able to perform tightrope tricks that had never been done before, including having the male performer holding his sister on his head upside down, and having her do back flips while standing on his shoulders, all while on a tightrope! Note that the artist of this poster seems to have taken artistic license to not have the Naitto Troupe appear Chinese, perhaps because of prejudices at this time, but that is solely a guess. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had pinholes, tears, and small paper loss around the edges. It had a few small tears and tiny bits of paper loss on the folds. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
